The irony is not lost on me that I am using a business name validation tool to check the name I want to use for the business name tool. Thinking of more features to add soon enough to help with the ideation process! #buildinpublic #dogfooding #nownothow

[David Saenz @dmsaenz311]

Added in some loading graphics from @uiverse_io and a couple other things to improve the UX. Things are moving along! Have some API's running for the searches now and a simple algo. #buildinpublic #nownothow

Does this tool exist that I'm building? Probably, but I haven't found the one that solves my problem or that of others I know: one stop to see domains, socials, state, and trademark. Let's see where it goes #buildinpublic #nownothow

[David Saenz @dmsaenz311]

Day 1 (maybe 2?) of simply doing the dang thing and building a business name availability tool. I've had this idea for months and am constantly running into the need for this tiny solution for myself, my friends, and my clients. #buildinginpublic #nownothow

As a founder it is important to monitor the tension between Clarity and Hustle. If you over-index to one direction, disaster; if you stay in the middle, nothing; if you oscillate intelligently between them, magic. #Founder #businesscoach #Startup

Always feel dumb when I text someone “just sent the email”, should I also DM them on Facebook? 🤦🏻‍♂️

[David Saenz @dmsaenz311]

The thrill of getting a new, qualified lead when you’re starting a business is 🔥 absolutely motivating to keep pushing towards that sale 🤘🏻💪🏻💃

[David Saenz @dmsaenz311]

Early in life I confused confidence for pride. Don’t make that same mistake. Be confident in who you are, no matter what. Be delusional about your capacity and capabilities. Push the limits. Let them feel uncomfortable.

[David Saenz @dmsaenz311]

Want to get started on a business?

1. Dream it
2. Design it
3. Do it

It really can be that simple if you let it be, we are our own worst enemy with it comes to simplicity!

Anyone else losing sleep from wanting to vibe code new business ideas constantly? #vibecode #ai #lovable #buildinpublic

[David Saenz @dmsaenz311]

Lesson I had to remind myself of today - respect people's time and they will respect you. I scheduled a 30-min reconnect with someone in my network, chatted for 15 minutes, got what we both needed, and jumped off. Easy as that. Don't fill with fluff.

[David Saenz @dmsaenz311]

Saw that AOL is shutting down dial up internet. In a moment of nostalgia, I spun up a vibe coded version of AIM. Essential part of my childhood. Built it, opened it, and asked… why? Doesn’t seem to address a pain point anymore. 🤷🏻‍♂️ On to the next idea! #vibecode #AOL #ai

[David Saenz @dmsaenz311]

I was excited when vibe coding tools like Lovable and v0 dropped because I could finally visualize what I wanted. Now, I've moved on to wanting to actually push something into production. But I can't quite figure it out with my uneducated braincells... #vibecoding #buildinpublic

Love this lesson "Trust the process, not the mood"

So right! 🙌

With the rate of change generated by AI, it is easy as a human to become paralyzed. Don't! NOW is the time to move and keep moving. Not sure how? Let's talk 💪

@aaditsh @billygoatMTB check it out

[David Saenz @dmsaenz311]

Favorite term from #GPT5 today - “Consider a 7-day free trial for Starter and Pro — skip free plan entirely to avoid “freebie” chum.”

[David Saenz @dmsaenz311]

The riskiest move in a startup? Waiting for perfection. In this world, esp with vibe coding, speed is your friend. Speed to feedback is essentially, ANY type of feedback on ANYTHING.

Make time to destroy your idea of normal. Change your environment. Change your inputs. Change your comfort zone.

Today I have spoken with four founders at varying stages and it's pretty much my favorite way to spend a Friday! Not to mention, #vibecoding throughout the day, exploring the new GPT5, and crushing a workout.
